Delite in Life

I had taken my kids to the nature park for the day where we were to feed the ducks and bunnies. It is a favourite past time of ours and as simple as this activity is, it brings each of us so much joy. I love to see the look on all of their faces when a duck eats 'their' bread that they've thrown. They squeal with delight at each of the ducks fighting over every morsel of bread. Such a sight!

I chose the sweet and soft tones in Graphic 45's New Little Darlings Collection to showcase my photos.  I adore the beautiful imagery of the little children and thought it complimented the feeling in the photo wonderfully.

Lots and lots of fussy cutting options in this line! I brought my embellishments to life by adding several 3D Foam Dots.

Thank you so much for your visit today! I'll be back again tomorrow with some more Graphic 45!!

Just Darling!

Here is a layout I created with the Little Darlings Collection from Graphic 45. It is a photo of my daughter last fall - wearing a jacket that my mom had kept all these years (it use to be mine when I was the same age).

Just love the soft, pastel tones in these papers. I decided to keep the look a little more monochromatic so I only added some vanilla hues, paired with the pink/peach tones in the beautiful papers.

I also used one of the pages from an envelope album, painted it with acrylic paint to match the colours in the papers and transformed into a little pocket within the layout.

Today the Bo Bunny Designers were challenged to create a "Free for All" Project - anything they wanted, using any paper collection they wanted. This was so fantastic to do. I just love to create layouts with lots and lots of lush layers and distressing. I also adore worn and shabby looking papers and Bo Bunny's ET Cetera Collection has to be one of my all time favourites.

Here is the project I created for this challenge. Two of my kiddos last summer in the field near our house. Just love the way the sun is shining on them in this photo. This layout was also featured in the recent Spring Issue of Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine!

Here are a few close ups of all the wonderful embellishments I have included from this collection.
